Abstract
A review is given of the role played in the problems of solid-state physics by the various manifestations of instability zones for interacting defects and the presence of equilibrium and radiation-induced unstable vacancy–interstitial-atom pairs. The unstable pairs determine the features of the diffusion process and of a number of thermal properties of metals, semiconductors, and insulators, including superionic crystals, and also determine the radiation stability of solids.
